While the national economic indices are improving -unemployment numbers are moving down, job numbers in key segments are looking better, consumer confidence is up, the stock market has reached record highs, and deficits have been decreasing - there is still work to do.

So as members of Congress gather in the nation's capital, it is my hope they do so with the desire to pursue a limited but aggressive agenda in 2014 to strengthen our economic conditions and help millions of people who are longing for the chance to live the American dream.
